FILM 1866: JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK



FILM 1866: JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK

TRIVIA: Cobie Smulders performed all of her own stunts in this movie.

The film is based on the eighteenth "Jack Reacher" series novel by source novelist Lee Child. "One Shot," the basis of the first film Jack Reacher (2012), is the ninth book, which means this movie is not necessarily a direct sequel in terms of the book series.

CAMEOLee Child: source novelist plays a TSA agent who is seemingly ambivalent to the fact that Jack (Tom Cruise) does not really match the stolen ID he is using to board the plane. This is a nod to Child's support of the "controversial" casting of the diminutive 5'7" tall Cruise as Child's 6'5 tall," 250lb weighing, and 50-inch wide-chested character of Jack Reacher. Despite a lot of fan backlash at the casting of Cruise, Lee responded: "Obviously, Cruise doesn't match the physical description of Reacher in the books, but the movie is not going to match the book anyway."
